You may find that some Feng Shui specialists and professionals actually have a bone to pick with other forms of Feng Shui, and this can be a little confusing for someone who doesn't know much about the principles beyond the fact that sometimes furniture gets moved around to let energy flow better within the house.

Depending on the books you read and the people you talk to, you may find claims that Feng Shui can accomplish a variety of goals:

• You can find a suitable romantic interest.
• You can enhance the lives of the residents within your home to include children and pets.
• You can improve your health.
• You can attract wealth and success.
• You can transform an unhappy family into a cohesive unit.
• You can achieve a higher status among your peers.

 Perhaps these claims are more than you bargained for, or perhaps as you read these you're thinking, "Wow, great, where do I begin?" Just be aware that different schools of Feng Shui claim to do different things, so don't be surprised if one Feng Shui book contradicts another when it comes to the steps you are supposed to take or the results you can expect. You can think of it as similar to a religion by comparing it to something like Christianity. Denominations all fall under the category of Christianity, but the various denominations can have some very different ideas.

Just to be clear, this does not mean that Feng Shui is considered a religion; it's merely to clarify how you will find varying opinions among the many different schools of Feng Shui ideals and practices. 

In the coming weeks I will continue with this series on Feng Shui and how it can improve the energy within your home and life in general.
